Guest guest Posted December 22, 2003 Report Share Posted December 22, 2003 Greetings Ladies Well, I just got back from seeing Dr Toni sey in Pasadena. I waited 1 1/2 months to see her and it was worth it. What a difference from the doctor I saw in October (who recommended a hysterectomy asap, did no follow up tests, wrote a false blood pressure on my records, and gave me no other options but a hysterectomy) Dr sey started with an ultrasound that revealed an 8.5 cm fibroid. (and several smaller ones) She didn't even have to point it out on the screen-- I couldn't miss it. Because of the size and position of the thing, I am not a candidate for any type of laproscopic surgery. She also told me that a myomectomy was not an option for me because of the position of my fibroid. She talked about the reconstruction that I would need and possible problems with my bowels after the surgery. My options are : 1--waiting and watching to see if it stops growing or shrinks on it's own. She suggested a biopsy if I chose this option though, just to make sure nothing cancerous is in there with the monster. 2--a hysterectomy. She didn't try to push me into this option though by suggesting that if I didn't hurry I would need a vertical cut like the first doctor did. 3--UFE She also had a cbc done to determine how anemic I am. ( I think the iron pills have brought it back up) I have another appointment with her in 6 weeks and have to give her my choice then. She was pleased when I told her that I had done some research and joined this group and urged me to continue, and to ask for advice here. So, I have 6 weeks to decide what I am going to do. Any advice, feedback you could give me would be greatly appreciated. Tarty in LA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
